Well the question what do we consider proof that our judgement truly corespond with the world out there is a philosophical question. Can corespondence to empirical observation conclusively prove our knowledge or can deductive reaoning? Asking what philosophy can prove or what the role is of proof in philosophy is like tying the horse behind the carriage, because one seem to think there is a non philosophical notion we call proof that can establish the truth of our knowledge claims. There is no such thing though.
